I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

I started today with about 20 min of very low intensity yoga.  Boy my hamstrings were tight and not ready to wake up.   It felt really good after about the third sun salutation.  Yoga is such a miracle ;)  Anyway- day three of 6 am runs.  I really like having my running all finished and being ready for the day so early.

Now about the run- it was hard :)  This goal of mine to run faster than I have to, is a little rough, but it feels SO good to record the times and see that I have been able to go faster than I thought I could.  Running 10:55 at the  Provo Riverwoods 10 miler, really has done a trick on my mind.  If I can average that for 10 miles, I can go faster, or atleast that fast on shorter runs, right?  Anyway, we are making major progress, in my books, and I am very excited!!

Yesterday I ate very well!  Lots of fruit and veggies, fresh sugar snap peas and raspberries :).  I also made apple cinnamon bran muffins.  Yum!  I went over my POINTS budget for the day by a touch, but I was hungry and the scale showed a loss this morning.  I am really trying to make better food choices to keep my energy up for running.  I would really like to actually place in my age group sometime in the next year.  I don't have to be first, just a single digit would be GREAT!!!!  Dreams dreams!! ;)

(-1.8 lbs from last wed)

Way to go!! Great pace!! If you can do 10:55 on race day, I bet it won't be long before you are doing it on training runs, and then watch out Hobblecreek! Great effort!! Looks like you are doing super on the food too! I think you are smart to post your weight accomplishments, I think I might try that. It helps to put it out there!!!! Go go Marion!!
